Rory McIlroy will be determined to make history by becoming the first golfer to win the
Tour Championship four times.
What to know about McIlroy
The Northern Irish superstar is the only person to win the FedEx Cup three times, surpassing American sports icon Tiger Woods' two.
McIlroy is also a four-time major champion, winning the 2011 U.S. Open, 2012 PGA Championship, 2014 Open Championship, and 2014 PGA Championship.
News
The experienced golfer was in action at the recent 2024 BMW Championship where he secured a top-15 finish - finishing 11th.
McIlroy is currently placed third in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) having spent over a hundred weeks in the number one position during his career.
Why McIlroy is among the favourites
The two-time PGA Tour money list winner was crowned champion at the Tour Championship three times in 2016, 2019 and 2022.
McIlroy, who won this year's Zurich Classic of New Orleans and Wells Fargo Championship, will be looking to clinch his third win of the season this weekend.
Quotes
“I feel like I've been golf's ‘Nearly Man’ for the last three years,” McIlroy said after finishing fifth at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
“I obviously want that tide to turn and go from the ‘Nearly Man’ to back to winning golf tournaments. It's all well and good saying I'm close and close and close.
"Once I actually step through the threshold and turn these near misses and close calls into wins, that's what I need to do.”
